Life is filled with deceivers....

I kept your secrets folded
like letters in a drawer—
soft‑edged, familiar, safe.
But trust is fragile paper,
and you set a match to it
with a single careless word.

The smoke rose slowly first,
a warning I tried to ignore,
until the flames spelled truth
in a language I never wanted to learn.

Now I gather the ashes—
not to mourn what burned,
but to remember the warmth
was never worth the fire.

In memory of the Biffle family.

Goodbye my family, my life is past. I loved you all to the very last, Weep not for me, but courage take, Love each other for my sake, For those you love don't go away, They walk beside you every day.

Obliterating Hatred

Hate begins as a quiet word, a story twisted, a truth unheard.

But kindness grows when we choose to see each person’s shared humanity.

History asks us to take a stand— to speak with courage, to lend a hand.

So let respect be what we learn, and let no spark of hatred return.

Crying Solves Nothing

Bottled-up emotions,
Tears welled up,
feelings overflowing in a cup,

All seeking a deeper release,
The water works never seem enough.
Except for showing strength under pressure,
one realizes numbness would be better,

Life is not about avoiding tears,
but allowing them to flow subtly
showing our humanity and ability
to heal.

It's Wednesday and Everything's Gonna Be Alright.

Everything’s Gonna Be Alright

The night may whisper shadows deep, But dawn will rise, the dark will sleep. Storms may roar and skies may cry, Yet hope still glows, a steady sky.

The road may twist, the climb may strain, But flowers bloom through cracks of pain. Each step you take, though slow, though slight, Is proof that everything’s gonna be alright.

The heart may ache, the soul may tire, But embers wait to reignite fire. Through broken days and endless fight, Love will remind you—it’s all gonna be alright.

So breathe, dear soul, release the weight, The future holds a kinder fate. Though clouds may linger out of sight, The sun will shine—everything’s gonna be alright.

In the valley of shadows.

Hatred whispers in the alleys, old lies dressed in new clothes, poison carried through centuries, a wound the world still knows.

It paints doors with suspicion, it breaks glass in the night, yet every candle lifted pushes back with light.

The songs of exile linger, but voices rise in song, a people still enduring, still proving hatred wrong.

For though the dark may gather, and cruelty may conspire, the flame of truth keeps burning— a spark that will not tire.

*Anti-Semitism is a cancer of society. End the hate now.

Thoughts well thought out reveal secrets of the heart.

Writers get besieged with hate because they write from the heart. Write about your rejecters and abandoners.

The Hanukkiah Lights

Eight little candles, shining so bright,
One more each evening, what a lovely sight!
Spin the dreidel, hear it go whirr,
Gelt coins for everyone!

Latkes sizzling, golden and hot,
Applesauce ready, we’ve got quite a lot.
Family laughing, stories to share,
Hanukkah’s magic is everywhere!

Happy Hanukkah!
Happy Chrismukkah!
